But special congratulations to those who went for the "magic" gag and the "incredible" gag:

“…leans on its stars to conjure laughs out of thin air …[E]nough comic haymakers land to make Burt Wonderstone credible, if not exactly ‘incredible.’” – Roger Moore, Movie Nation

“There’s not much cinematic magic in this tale. … It may be more The Merely Okay Burt Wonderstone…” – Frank Swietek, One Guy’s Opinion

“For my first trick, allow me to write off an entire picture by merely affixing to the title a one-word contraction: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone isn’t.” – Rick Groen, The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

“The only incredible thing about The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is that way it makes Steve Carell so thoroughly and irreparably unlikable. … And after it's over, poof! You'll forget you ever watched it in the first place.” – Christy Lemire, Associated Press
